Phocas Family/Kesaria

Introduction

The fourth child and only daughter of Chalsus and Cassandra Phocas; Kesaria is by far the most like the deceased eldest son, Pistalexios. She also feels the lack of noble ancestry deeply; however, despite this, she knows that she is a Noble and does not feel the need to make up for the lack of history in her family. In this manner she is much more akin to her elder brother Rogatos; she is much more ambitious than any of her other siblings. She is the epitome of cultured Warrior-Nobless, but do not be fooled, for she can be a sneaky and under-handed enemy, if she has the influence. She will have the power she wants, and is patient enough to outlast many others who want the same.

She is a small young woman with a slight figure, who only barely makes five feet four inches in height. She makes up for that in her mien, which is very well mannered, and serious. She is pretty, but does not have a memorable face; her most distinguishing characteristic is her hair, which is long, dark, and very curly. It is usually tied back, and the bangs that aren't long enough to be tied are tucked behind her ears. She will 'dress up' when the occasion calls for it, but is most often seen wearing lamellar armour that reaches her mid-thigh, and cavalry trousers with boots. Unlike her brothers' cavalry, her own personal guard aren't heavily armoured, and use spears and shields. They carry swords, but that is only recently, and for conflicts in cities.

History

Having the utmost respect for her eldest sibling, Kesaria herself left for Carelia, the Kingdom he fought for to see what land he lived in and died for. She found, much to her chagrin, that the Kingdom had forgotten about her brother and his death, and left afterwards when she could no longer stand for it. She still holds Carelia in contempt for their disregard of her brother. She arrived in Beluaterra, and found herself a place in Old Grehk, a Kingdom in the North of Beluaterra. After a botched march south to attack Enweil, Kesaria left the kingdom in search of a realm which she could have more of an effect in. Thus, she left for Heen, and pledged her allegiance to the Duchess of Heen.
